Involvement of matricellular proteins and immune receptors in the dynamic interaction between tumour and immune cells See

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumour in children and young adults, characterised by high metastatic potential and poor prognosis in advanced stages. Despite recent therapeutic advances, metastatic OS remains challenging to treat. Increasing evidence highlights...

EEG-Infinity: A Mathematical Modeling-Inspired Architecture for Addressing Cross-Device Challenges in Motor Imagery See

The distribution of electroencephalogram (EEG) data generally varies across datasets due to the huge difference between the physical structure of brain-computer interface devices, known as cross-device variability. Such variability poses great challenges in EEG decoding and hinders the standardized ut...

KDET-HPFL: A Personalized Federated Learning Framework for Multimodal Pedestrian Detection With Adaptive Feature Selection See

Pedestrian detection plays a critical role in intelligent perception systems in autonomous vehicles, which directly influences the reliability and safety of the overall system. Advanced in-vehicle sensor technology has enabled the continuous evolution of pedestrian detection systems by leveraging hete...

Simultaneous State and Fault Estimation over Bandwidth-Constrained Networks: A Relay-Aided Binary Encoding Strategy See

This paper is concerned with the joint state and fault estimation problem for a class of discrete-time systems over a bandwidth-constrained network subject to actuator and sensor faults. The signal attenuation is resisted by locating the amplify-and-forward relay between the sensor and ...

Effective thermal conductivity prediction model for vacuum insulation cores See

Accurate prediction of thermal conductivity of porous granular materials enables the identification and rapid optimisation of new composite core materials for Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs). To date, no computer model has reported the use of multi-sized particles with a combined Finite Elem...

Assessing Food Procurement Greenhouse Gas Emissions And Food Waste In UK Fine Dining See

This research examines greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) associated with food procurement and food waste in a UK fine dining restaurant. A comprehensive food procurement greenhouse gas emissions baseline was established, emission hotspots were identified, and food waste reduction targets previously ...

Characterising anticipatory postural adjustments in turning a comparison between older adults and people with Parkinson’s disease See

Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) are crucial for maintaining postural stability during voluntary movements such as gait initiation. While APAs have been extensively studied in forward stepping, little is known about their characteristics during turning initiation. This study aimed to identify&...
